Spock Ops: Star Trek Trailer Discovers Slow-Mo

Share this:

If you want to wring maximum pleasure from this post, I suggest imagining every word coated in the tendril-like glue that is the movie/TV slow-mo deep voice sound effect. It is, after all, only fitting, given that the grand majority of the new Star Trek trailer drives wellunder the warp speed limit. Running, seemingly suicidal cliff diving, and a bit of covering shooting are the orders of the day here, but with the grace and poise of the creature we humans so desperately envy: the sloth. Admittedly, the whole thing looks a bit Gears-of-Star-Trek-War-ish, but well, not every game can be FTL. As is, I’m anticipating some light, easily digestible shooting action with the occasional heartwarming Kirk-Spock co-op BFF moment. Beam past the break to watch the full trailer.

Star Trek’s looking to launch shortly before the second reboot movie drops early next year. Apparently, Spock and Kirk will pool their brains and brawn to “stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy.” Hardly boldly going where no game has gone before, but I’d still spend a king’s ransom on this thing if it included an unlockable William Shatner skin. Even if it was pre-order bonus.

No man, it looks way worse then Mass Effect. Mass Effect at least had some RPG in it. This looks like the worst parts of Mass Effect with some extra ass fucking included for your rear end pleasure. Fucking worthless shit. I feel triple insulted today. Makes me a sad panda.

I remember one single episode that was about watching a musical called Gay and it was full of gays, but it’s not the same in all episodes. You should give it a chance. IMHO, IT Crowd is one of the funniest things ever.

Even the weapons were only vaguely Star Trek-ish in EF2, the “Assault Rifle” AKA Phaser Shotgun stuck out as being a case of “we can’t be bothered balancing all the weapons so we’ll stick to the generic shooter loadout”.

This just makes me want the Star Trek game I’ve waited years for.
Not a shooter.
Not a space sim.
Not a dating sim (unless theres one for a Picard/Sulu slash fic, that would just be adorable)

But a game where like in the show you slowly and methodically travel through space investigating strange anomolies and bargaining with stubborn aliens all with ridulous foreheads. A kind of long campaign of investigations as you travel from mission to mission and the overarcing story slowly builds as different crew members begin to interact. It’s what I desperately hoped Mass Effect would become instead of a dull sci-fi tv movie.

I am currently have hopes that Notch’s new space thingy will finally scratch this itch.

Indeed, and you could probably add the first TNG game, A Final Unity, to that list. None of them belong in a list of the greatest adventures of all time, but they are interesting for pretty much fitting that description, and all of them have multiple ways to solve most situations (the original series games had a slightly odd scoring system for each “episode” based on how you solved each one, and the TNG game would happily let you miss important clues in away missions and force you to work out where you needed to be next by other means – which did normally exist, it wasn’t a case of your only options being to load an earlier save or use a walkthrough).

What kind of shithead comment is this idiot moron making? He actually thinks we, internet people, needs more info before making judgement! Such heresy! Well I bet you are a black Asian Muslim gay jew in a wheelchair, making such logical response reeking of sense.

That last movie wasn’t even a good action movie and didn’t make internal logic, let alone logic within the ST canon. I’m sad that what Paramount took away from Voyager and Enterprise was ‘Start Trek is crap, we need to change it.’ No, ST isn’t crap, *those* two series were crap.
